Today was Jon's first day of school. Even though he didn't have any classes, he was still a little anxious about it all. Last night I cut his hair and this morning he woke up early to iron his shirt. He had to wear a suit today and wanted to look as sharp as a pin for his official MBA picture which will be hanging in the Tanner Building "for years to come" (as he put it).
I decided to drive him to school this morning so I could have the car for the rest of the day. As we drove up to the front of the building, I insisted on taking his picture. We said a prayer and he got out of the car, grabbed his briefcase, and headed in with the rest of the suits. I was so proud. I had to choke back the tears. It was as if I had dropped off my first child at school. I wanted to get out and hold his hand and walk him inside to make sure he got adjusted quickly and comfortably.
So begins a new phase in our lives. Doors will open and exciting things will happen! (Maybe I'll write fortunes for fortune cookies to make a few extra bucks.)

Congrats, Jon!
Hey Sarah, it's been a while. Do you agree that when you have a baby and as time goes on you feel like you're so behind on things in the world? I wish time could freeze with me until I catch up to life again. I don't know about you, but the adjustment to 2 kids has taken me a while. I feel like I finally have a handle on things... probably b/c Caroline is sleeping through the night now, yay ;o)
Sophie is Stunning! Such a gorgeous little thing. I think she looks more like you but I also see Jon. So cute. I'm very impressed with you and Jonah and the potty training. I kinda started w/ Preston but he wasn't showing signs that he was ready. He's starting to now but it takes SO much energy that I don't have. Your post has given me encouragment to try again :)
LOL You better jump on that writing fortunes for fortune cookies idea - if you don't, someone else will. Hope school is going well. I love the pictures! Sophie is to die for! Congratulations on starting the MBA - good luck.
